Google Web Fonts
For uniform representation of fonts, this Site uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google servers, and Google becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our Site, constituting a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer. For more information about handling user data, please visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and Google's privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
YouTube
Our Site uses plugins from YouTube, operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. If you visit one of our pages featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established, and the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. YouTube is used to help make our Site appealing, which constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. For more information about handling user data, please refer to the data protection declaration of YouTube at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
